Volume 3 of the official history of Australian peacekeeping, humanitarian and post-cold war operations explores Australia''s involvement in six overseas missions following the end of the Gulf War: Cambodia (1991–99); Western Sahara (1991–94); the former Yugoslavia (1992–2004); Iraq (1991); Maritime Interception Force operations (1991–99); and the contribution to the inspection of weapons of mass destruction facilities in Iraq (1991–99).

Une enquête de Karen Sharpe Par une froide matinée de printemps, on découvre deux corps dans un coin perdu des Pennines. Les victimes sont l’inspecteur chef Phil Leech et Fiona Mitchell, une indic. Tous les deux ont été tués par balle. L’inspectrice Karen Sharpe aurait dû accompagner Leech à son rendez-vous tardif avec Mitchell, mais elle était restée chez elle, trop ivre pour prendre le volant. Tous les ans, à cette date, elle buvait dans une tentative désespérée d’effacer un souvenir douloureux et obsédant. On pense d’abord que les meurtres de Leech et de Mitchell sont liés à la drogue, mais cette hypothèse soulève vite des doutes. Karen comprend bientôt que l’affaire est directement liée à elle. Il lui faut retrouver le tueur sans tarder et affronter son passé avant que quelqu’un d’autre ne découvre la terrible vérité, ce qui pourrait avoir des conséquences désastreuses... Traduit de l’anglais par Michèle Garène

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,3, Technische Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge von Regulierungsbemühungen seitens der Politik und Aufsichtsbehörden wird viel über Leerverkaufsbeschränkungen diskutiert. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Effekt von Leerverkaufsbeschränkungen auf die Informationseffizienz und Preisbildung am Kapitalmarkt. Hierzu wird das theoretische Modell von Diamond und Verrecchia vorgestellt, welches diese Effekte erfasst. Anhand von empirischen Studien können die Aussagen des Modells bestätigt werden. Leerverkaufsbeschränkungen verringern in aller Regel die Informationseffizienz am Markt. Dieser Effekt kommt durch eine langsamere Preisfindungsgeschwindigkeit und durch einen vergrößerten Bid-Ask-Spread zustande. Zudem erhöhen Leerverkaufsbeschränkungen die Volatilität der Tagesrenditen an Veröffentlichungstagen von Informationen.

The complete collection of John Connor''s original Guncrank Diaries is all right here including excuses, alibis, pithy observations and general ephus. John Connor is a soldier, cop, father, lover of dogs, protector of the defenseless, guardian of what''s right - and a fierce foe of what''s wrong. He''s fought evil, brutality and tyranny in the jungles of Vietnam, as a cop on the city streets of a major Southern California city, and in a host of god-forsaken places around the world. His friends often have very unusual names, and all remain fiercely loyal - and for very good reasons. This book isn''t about what you think, either. Not at all. It''s not just simply a series of columns John wrote for the pages of American Handgunner Magazine. They''re stories, yes, but each has a meaning stronger than the words on the paper convey. Each one will drag deep-rooted, powerful memories from deep within you about things that were, or might have been. The effect this modest book will have on you won''t buff out easily. Be prepared to be changed. What readers say about Guncrank Diaries: "Darn it Connor, stop it-stop it-stop it... my old eyes are not as tough as they used to be. Your story of the custom colt was just wonderful. I forwarded it to my wife ... now her eyes are leaking too. so just stop it!" Gary M. "I don''t give a damn if the writer of Guncrank is or was a super secret special forces tacti-cool bad ass or if he was a truck driver or a mess sergeant. I like what he writes. I enjoy it because it is entertaining. And its usually just plain funny. So whoever you are thanks, I appreciate what your do or did." Just an Army Guy "Like fine wine, Connor''s insights age well and remain cogent. More please." Doc H

Merriam Press Military Monograph 96. Second Edition (March 2012). On July 15, 1950, only a few weeks after North Korea invaded South Korea with overwhelming force, General Douglas MacArthur authorized the creation of a Provisional Raider Company to blow up bridges and railway tunnels behind enemy lines. Of 800 potential volunteers, 115 made the cut and endured weeks of grueling amphibious and demolitions training. On September 9, they and a small contingent of British Commandos left to conduct a raid at Kunsan, South Korea. On subsequent assignments, the Raiders went ashore at Inchon with the Marines, and with the X Corps at Wonsan. They conducted long-range intelligence-gathering patrols in which they also inserted and removed Korean agents. During the Chosin Reservoir campaign they were assigned to take and hold open the mountain passes for the withdrawal of the Marines and the 7th Division. The Raiders were evacuated from North Korea on December 14, 1950, and assigned anti-guerrilla activities in South Korea. At Chang-to they were cut off and surrounded by two North Korean regiments. On April 1, 1951, all Ranger and Special Operations units were disbanded because the Army high command believed they were not being utilized properly. This is the story of that unit as told by one of its members, John Connor. In about seven months of almost continual combat, they managed to accumulate four battle stars, a bronze arrowhead for a combat assault landing, Presidential Unit citations from both the U.S. Navy and the Republic of Korea, along with a special commendation from the commanding general of X Corps for imposing losses on the enemy far in excess of their own numbers. Contents: * Introduction * Prologue * Childhood * Basic Training * Occupation Duty * Camp McGill * Kusan * Inchon and Kimpo * North Korea * Chosin Reservoir * South Korea * The Battle at Chang-to * Business as Usual * Deactivation * Epilogue * Afterword * Satellite photo of Korean Peninsula at night * Surrender leaflet and news article * Presidential Unit Citation * Personal message to General Collins from GHQ, 1950 * Fragmentary order to Colonel Ely * Commendation to CO, Special Activities Group * Permanent orders to John Connor * Bibliography * 31 photos * 7 documents * 2 maps.

Based on his experience as an HR director and consultant, Russell John Connor identifies the fads and fashions that make up modern day Human Resource Management practice and reveals the flawed assumptions upon which popular notions of people management are founded. Unusually for a management book, Human Remains explores how deep philosophical issues, such as the mind-body split and the nature of reality, are intricately connected to practice. It is argued that philosophy matters profoundly. It certainly influences how we decide to organise and manage people. In order to offer a radically different approach to managing people and organisations, Human Remains presents a relevant management system and philosophy that brings uncertainty centre-stage. This book is written for HR professionals who are frustrated about their lack of impact and chief executives who are looking to build healthy organisations, which promote trust-inducing behaviour. Although Human Remains is about the way that we manage people and organizations, it is also an invitation to think about the way that we think about ourselves. As such, it is written for everyone interested in reflecting on, and making sense of, the everyday human reality of working in organisations. REVIEW ''For thirty years we''ve been talking about unpredictability but still reward those who claim to bring certainty and control. It''s time we looked to a future created by those who understand the relation between uncertainty and growth.'' Gillian Robertson, PhD, management lecturer and consultant

31 décembre 1999. À l''aube, dans un appartement luxueux de Leeds, un homme se fait immoler et défenestrer du neuvième étage. Le corps est rapidement identifié : il s''agit de Nicholas Hanley, riche propriétaire d''une agence immobilière dont les activités semblent suspectes. Les choses se compliquent lorsque Pete Bains, chargé de l''enquête, découvre que la maîtresse de la victime et la fille de celle-ci sont portées disparues. Au même moment, les services secrets sont à la recherche de l''inspectrice Karen Sharpe qui a elle aussi disparu. Il semblerait qu''elle soit aux mains d''un tueur à gages tortionnaire, engagé par des hommes d''affaires pakistanais à la moralité plus que douteuse.

A collection of fascinating stories and poems from John Connor''s memories of Liverpool.

The eagerly anticipated fourth collection of short, speculative fiction from John A Connor, about whose title, ''Short Circuits'', the celebrated astronomer, TV presenter and science fiction author, the late Sir Patrick Moore said, "A very lively and entertaining little book. When you read it you will find something to appeal to you. I am sure you will enjoy the book as much as I did." In ''Sixty second eternity'' you''ll find the same intriguing mix of thought-provoking stories from the world just around the corner. Everything from the unforeseen problems of dealing with extra-terrestrials to the dangers of loosening the bonds between reality and possibility; from the drawbacks to instantaneous travel to just what does happen if you head out of the universe...and keep going. Twenty-two tales for people who thought they didn''t like science fiction and for people who know that they do.
